' DISH-WASHING amorous.;y 'i i To all whom, it nul/ 1) concern: e it ,known that I, COLUMBUS W.

at Grand, in the county of Day, Oklahoma' '1`errito1y, have invented c ertainnewand` useful Improvements 1n lhshJVash'ing- M achilies, ol' which the following is'a specification. v This invention embodies an improved dishwashing machine, and resides in details of'- crmstruction the -advantages ol which will appear rnorelully hereinafter and the struc` 'ture o'l which will be 'finally claimed.

In carrying out the invention the machine is comprised ol a reservoir or receptacle adapted to receive the dishes and'having a propeller' mounted therein by which Water received in the reservoir is adapted to'be thrown against the dishes to ellect the dcsired cleansing action, said propeller comprising also a fan to direct air avainstthe dishes after they have been washed to facilitate drying thereol".

For a full description ol` the invention and .the merits thereof and also to acquire a` knowledge of the details of construction and the means for clecting the result reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a washingn'mchine embodying the invention. Fig. 2

. is a longitudinal sectional view of the invention. Fig 3 is a transverse section on the line X X of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail perspec tivel view of the dish-rack. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the dividing-screen.

Corresponding and like parts are Areferred to in the'followin fV descriptlon and 4indicated in all the views o the drawings by the same reference characters, l

The reservoir 1 of the machine' is preferably of elongated form and is mounted on legs? or similar supports in such a way .that

one end of the reservoir is arranged lowerl ing mechanism whereby the sha t 4 and pro- Specication oflLetters'Patent.' y maman me@ mamy 1 5, leas. smaila 301.220.

Between the propeller 3 and the rack 10 is located a dividving-screen 11, which prevents the dregs drained from the dishes from being thrown thereagainst, said screen 1'1 being carried by a frame 12 and occupying the upper portion Aol said frame, the lower portion'of the latter being open. In other words', the screen 11 is in the path through which the cleansing fluid under thev iniuence of the propeller is projected, the space below 'the screenbeing o n, soas to' freely cr'nlit of gravitation of tlxig cleansin f fluid a terit has been thrown a inst the t ishes in washin the same. The c eansing fluidv may be supp ied to the reservoir 1 in any suitableway, and a suitable draw-o? cock 13 will be located at the lower end of the reservoir,| so thati the liquid contents thereof may be drawn olf after the washing operation is completed.

, The o posite sides of the reservoir 1 are provifle with air-openings adapted to be closed by valves 14, and this feature of the.
